Glenn Beck Shits His Pants for Dollars
Letting the numbers down slowly here in Central Illinois. The news is full of fear. The recession will be a double dipper. The housing market is going to tank a lot more. The spectre of mass poverty is out there and will overtake many people in the states. What does this mean? More people watching Glen Beck and believing his version of history. Many among us don't know that Beck is on tv every day lying to millions of people about what really happened. He is shaping an understanding of the past that is untrue and that makes claims that cannot be supported.
To do this he is about to make a major speech on the site of Martin Luther King's I Have A Dream speech, and on the very same day, in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Beck is going to attempt to wrest history away from that vision of equality, and to use it to strip millions of dollars from the people he speaks to who are deathly afraid of what being honest might mean for their place in the world.
What it all gets down to is this: We should to be a country that was remarkably courageous. Now we grovel with fear every time a major republican/conservative figure opens their mouth and intones the end times scenario. And what is really pitiful is the remarkable lack of content there is there. Many things are bad, but the islamists are punks, torturing the old people of america. Most of the world is pretty clear on how stupid the whole thing is, but here in the States it is about getting power to get wealth. All the repubs know this, and most of the dems. But the dems are hampered by a weird need to stay close to the facts.
This is something the Republicans do not care about anymore. People like Sara Palin and Glen Beck represent the end of this country. The end of the american dream. And with that end will come actual poverty for the children and grandchildren of those tea partiers who foam at the mouth listening to Beck's lies and deceptions. They give their money to those who would end this constitutional democracy.
And perhaps it will come to the point where the country splinters.
Meanwhile, true science will poke along, knowing Darwin is right and the Universe is 15 billion years old or more. Meanwhile xtianity will stultify and splinter into those who can deal with the facts science presents and those who cannot get past their desperate need to believe in folk stories from their tribal groups. Islam will suffer this same fate. And if the religious people do win out and suppress real science with its bad news for their belief systems, then the human world will go into a true dark age, much the worse than the first one. People will learn how to lie about what they know is true. The worst kind of destruction a conscious animal can do to itself.
So, let us all pray for Glen Beck's subconscious to come into contact with the great universal consciousness that Jung posited. For in the river of being itself Beck can only confront his selfishness for the disingenuous use he has made of pieces of truth displayed in a certain way only to bring him money and power. And there is no lie worse than the lie you tell yourself to get over. That is the true nature of Sin.
So Beck, when you die, as you must, your deceit will be like a great wind that will blow you through the place outside of time, and you will confront everything you have caused to happen and will be forced to make it all good. That will shape all existence for you as far as I can see.
How can these people not understand the terrible cost they are going to pay? It really does underscore how they have nothing whatsoever to do with Jesus, his words and his actions. The hypocrisy of the xtians is only matched by the barbarism of those who control Islam in what was once the caliphate. These groups are related not just by the god they pretend to serve, but by their terrible desire to deny who we are and what we will be.
So, is religion ultimately the problem? And is it something that comes from a specific part of the brain? Was it meant as a tool and has the tool become perverted? You really have to wonder if we are as stupid as we appear.
Ranting again. It's been awhile.
At least I know the Lady loves me. I'll still be responsible for my deceit when I die. I struggle with that knowledge every day.
